Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="embr201338403-abs-0003"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Mammalian members of the POT family transport both di‐ and tripeptides. This study shows that a bacterial member of this family is able to recognise di‐ and tripeptides in different orientations, explaining this remarkable ligand promiscuity. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" id="embr201338403-blkfxd-0002" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghwkf3kvk" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
